Kirlian Photography Device

The Model 3 has all photography functions on the front panel.

These include the on/off power switch, discharge switch, Hi-Low frequency
switch and variable frequency control. The discharge plate is located
on the left hand side of the device. The terms discharge plate and film
plate mean one and the same.

The on/off switch provides main power to the circuit. discharge switch is a momentary contact switch that applies the electrical power to the discharge plate. The frequency control varies the frequency of the electrical power going to the discharge plate.

Additional Features:

1/4" Jack for connecting a foot switch. Allows photographer to
activate discharge using the foot switch. Using the foot switch allows
the photographer to free his or her hand.

This device is designed to work with all 4" X 5" color, b/w 4"
X 5" sheet film and paper as well as polaroid film.

Make to used with transparent discharge plate to create kirlian
photographs using standard lens cameras: digital, film and video.

Additional Features:

External Power binding posts for portable field work

External Trigger binding posts, to make exposures at a distance
using a simple switch or relay.

Monitor binding posts, to connect to an oscilloscope to monitor
frequency and pulse rate of internal oscillator used to energize the
high voltage circuit.

Paranormal Claims for Kirlian Photography Devices for Sale on the Internet

There are numerous Kirlian devices being sold on the internet today. To sell their devices the corona discharge in the resulting kirlian photograph is claimed to be paranormal or hold information that can be decrypted by the company's Kirlian researchers. All my research to date shows the corona discharge can be explained by employing known physical laws, like changes in subjects skin resistance (due to factors like; stress-lying, illness, fatigue, alcohol consumption, etc) without the necessity of invoking paranormal (bio-plasma) factors. Some other variable factors influencing the resulting Kirlian picture including the object's pressure against film, air humidity, air pressure, voltage, frequency, and exposure time. If anyone has any evidence to the contrary,
I would be more than happy to examine that data.

We have never made any "paranormal" claims to sell our Kirlian photography devices

Our devices are sold to make brilliant Kirlian photographs. If one
wants to do paranormal research with our devices that fine. Just know
we make no claim that any interpretation of the corona discharge is
due to anything other than standard variable physical parameters as
already outlined previously. If you discover something different, please
let us know. We are open to examine any new evidence or data that comes
along. Kirlian photography devices and components that are available
are provide below. Sample pictures taken with our devices are shown
in the Gallery.

Aura Cameras

I am asked frequently about the Aura cameras for sale. From what I understand from their sales information, these aura cameras measure the galvanic skin resistances from the subjects hand. A computer uses that skin resistance information to produce and colorize an aura around the subject on a monitor. A copy of the monitor image is printed and sold to the customer. Is this Kirlian photography? No it is not. Aura cameras and the photographs they produce are not being sold or marketed as Kirlian cameras and Kirlian photographs. Many people are making the erroneous connection to Kirlian photography since the corona discharge photographed around the subject in the Kirlian photograph is many times referred to as an aura. Kirlian photography is a photograph of a high voltage corona discharge around the subject.

What's my opinion of these cameras and their resulting pictures? From
the sales data we know that whomever programmed the computer to colorize
the "aura" from the GSR information also choose what color to assign.
As far as I know, Galvanic Skin Resistance (GSR) is an indicator of
stress, but only after a baseline has been established for that particular
subject. I have not seen any scientific data to assign any other meaning,
other than stress, to the GSR in human subjects. So to interpret the
colorize aura to mean anything significant, other than a possible stress
level, is in my opinion and at this point in time is invalid.
